In a few words

Explore the pristine landscapes of the Far North on an authentic expedition more than 250 km north of the Arctic Circle . Far from mass tourism, this trek through the heart of the Scandinavian Alps immerses you in a wild nature where encountering moose , ptarmigan , or Eurasian lynx becomes a reality.

After two comfortable nights in a guesthouse in Abisko , it's time for adventure: four days of complete self-sufficiency across vast snow-covered landscapes. Equipped with snowshoes and pulling your pulkas , you'll reach a cozy cabin each evening, a true refuge in the heart of these endless spaces. As night falls, the magical spectacle of the Northern Lights will illuminate the night sky.

To mark the end of the trek, a snowmobile taxi will take you back to base camp. The adventure will conclude in style with a day of dogsledding , gliding across frozen lakes and through pristine forests. An exceptional itinerary to fully savor the magic of winter.

The highlights

  • A true snowshoe/pulka expedition far from the frequented routes of the area
  • 2 guides for 8 people: semi-personalized supervision and enhanced safety
  • An all-inclusive stay: return flights from Paris, full board, activities, supervision

The expert's opinion

Despite the short distances and minimal elevation gain, snowshoeing in these areas isn't always easy. The weather can also hinder rapid progress (cold, wind, snow). However, prior snowshoeing experience is absolutely unnecessary if you're athletic.

  • Average duration/day: 5h
  • Average distance/day: 10 km
  • Average daily elevation gain: 164 m
  • Average daily descent: 104 m
